Wells Fargo profits at the cost of our communities:

America’s Biggest Tax Dodger – Hoarding billions of tax dollars that should be paying for public services and putting America back to workLeads in Foreclosure – Continuing to foreclose on families in an economy it helped to ruinPredatory Lender – Targeting those who can least afford it with exploitive mortgages and payday lending,especially low-income communities of colorCorrupting our Democracy – Protecting its profits by quadrupling spending on lobbying since the financial crisis beganPrison Profiteer – Profiting from increased incarceration by investing heavily in for-profit prison corporations and anti-immigrant legislation

I don't like Wells Fargo banking practices, so I simply stopped doing business with them. If the 99% did the same, they wouldn't exist and this silly "take over" would be mute. Let's begin making a little more change in the world and a lot less noise.
